In May 2000 Christies in London held the auction Miniatures, which included the work A young gentleman, in profile to the left, dark sideburns and forward combed dark hair by Charles Guillaume Alexandre Bourgeois. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 1,116.25 (€ 1,791.17), 59% above the upper estimate. Admittedly, works by Charles Guillaume Alexandre Bourgeois have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work A young gentleman and lady in profile to left, dark background; he in blue coat with yellow waistcoat and cravat, forward-combed brown hair and sideburns; and she in white dress, pearl-set gold comb in her plaited upswept hair in November 2001 with an auction result of GBP 4,700.00 (€ 7,479.18
Oberer Schätzpreis um 59 % übertroffen
Im Mai 2000 führte Christies in London die Auktion Miniatures durch, in der auch die Arbeit A young gentleman, in profile to the left, dark sideburns and forward combed dark hair von Charles Guillaume Alexandre Bourgeois zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von GBP 1.116,25 (€ 1.791,17) und damit 59% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Charles Guillaume Alexandre Bourgeois auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit A young gentleman and lady in profile to left, dark background; he in blue coat with yellow waistcoat and cravat, forward-combed brown hair and sideburns; and she in white dress, pearl-set gold comb in her plaited upswept hair im November 2001 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 4.700,00 (€ 7.479,18).
